suggestion for Mastodon testing
next I might try reporting another user, or blocking them temporarily. I don't often do any of these things on my main Mastodon account (I'm on a very well moderated instance) so I need to experiment with them here.
If you do the same, be sure to toot about it.
@ggow hmm. but it looks like my other post ("suggestion for Mastodon testing") got through. Did you lift the mute early?
@ggow actually poring through that right now
@ggow 😆 ha! I was posting during that time! It timed out! hahaha
good one!
What was interesting about that experience is that I didn't know you had done it -- my toots just... failed.
suggestion for Mastodon testing
hi, all -- I suggest that, as you play around with Mastodon, try out as many features as you can.
So here I've tried the Content Warning. Next I might try a poll.
Mastodon is
@ggow will do. Unfortunately, after a few hours of banging my head against it, I've stopped with the install guide. Either their guide is out of date, or some scripts are -- so many missing dependencies!
I will try again later with a simpler "1-click" install. It will be an older version of Masto, but may still federate.
@ggow are there privacy settings involved?
I'm currently working on setting up my own Masto instance. Just to get the experience, really. We could also experiment with a simple federation.
@ggow Gotcha. I might keep it like this -- I actually prefer it to the tootsuite style.
Is the single-stream view set by default for new users?
So this particular install of Mastodon is interesting -- it looks more like Twitter's interface (and, for that matter, GNU social) than the "Tweet Deck" style I've seen elsewhere. Was that done on purpose?
